Such a cladogram would require perfect knowledge, which we will never   
have on any subject.  that all the information about all known I think   
this is an unreachable goal, since the evidence upon which the characters   
are derived (fossils) is constantly increasing.  , not perfectly   
distributed among all researchers basedunderstand it, characters in a   
cladogram
